We don't have that at the show yet. March 14th. Jonathan includes that he hesitated to include this one since it's misogynistic. And I demanded that we include it because it's misogynistic. Just sitting here surrounded by men. It's a response to Valentine's Day created in 2002 by a radio dj in lynn massachusetts it is steak and blowjob day no cards no flowers no special nights in the town the name explains it all just steak and a bj that's it i hate this so like these djs are just

the other holiday march 14th is also pie day now dave you dropped out of high school so maybe you don't know what pie is you know i only know it you know i only know it through the darren aronofsky film you know do you want to explain pie to all of us which we all know except that's how i know about ballet we certainly know what pie is it's yeah it's a ratio of a circumference of its circle to its diameter yeah i was gonna use the wrong, but I meant the same thing. But for our purposes, it's the thing for pizza and pie restaurants.

Give away free pies for promo deals. We love a promo deal. Is there a specific promo deal we're pushing? No, it's just everybody. I wish we had one. Wait, no, it's Pizza Hut.

There's something funny about that. Pie.com slash some more news. They all have pie deals today. But Pizza Hut got the headline. Unfortunately, you guys are going to hear this the day after Friday. Pizza Hut got the headline, but all the other places are. Taco Bell is involved?

Yeah, they have stuff resembling pizza. Mexican pizza pie. Mexican pizza pie? Sure. Okay. Not perfect circles, though, I'm guessing. Not a perfect circle. Free large one-topping pizza.

That is a band. Not free large one-topping pizza. It's actually a pretty bad name for a band, I would say. I don't know. It's not the worst. The worst is steak and blowjobs or jobs or something yeah that would be pretty bad march 15th use the code free pizza for free pizza sorry is that true yes it is at what location uh it says pizza hut okay pizza hut but by the time you hear this it'll be too late so oh that's

true this is your last day folks sorry you missed. Get in your time machine and travel back to yesterday. That's so mean. Tell people about free pizza the day before. We all know. Yeah, we know. It's also been apparently going on since Tuesday. So the 12th and the 13th and the 14th, which are yesterday and the day before that and the day before that.

But not tomorrow. It's pie week is what I'm hearing. It's Pi Midweek. For the record, the New York Times crossword puzzle also did a Pi themed puzzle. Good for them. I'd be surprised if they didn't. I'd be disappointed if they didn't.

3.14159. We've got one more holiday. 83367. And that is 8376 54309 okay March 15th is true confessions day confessions are good for the soul going to work today and tell all

just at home if you plan to stay home make an appointment with your mirror weird that's a weird way to put it that's like sinister going to work today and tell all. I don't think you should. I think you should keep some healthy boundaries with your work friends.

And. They mean just work, right? Like I'm going to the doctor. Okay. I'm going to the doctor later. I don't have to tell the doctor. This is all they wrote. So it's up for interpretation.

What these folks who we know well meant by this. What a sinister, like weird way to say like you look like shit you got to take care of yourself a little better if you stay home making a point with your mirror you look like shit i think it means like i think it means oh no i mean confess tell yourself i know what it means it's like a weird way to say i think that you could do that with your journal and i think you can share something that you want to share with a person you trust. Or your pets. But you definitely don't need to do it on this day.

You should do it when you feel ready. Okay. So, Dave. Dave. David. Yeah. Yes. Hello.

You've written some real bangers for us lately. We released part one of our ben shapiro cinematic universe series this week part two coming next week we shot part two yesterday it was fun do you need a break from ben how do you feel okay all right he's such a i don't know it's almost we we mentioned him as being low-hanging fruit because he is kind of like he's such a i don't know it's almost we we mentioned him as being low-hanging fruit because he is kind of like he's not he's not challenging yeah sorry oh i see but yeah no i i agree i think it's like it's easy he every day he says something that's like absurd on its face and then you look into it and it's also like just the facts are wrong

yeah even the other day and him saying like yeah you should like work until you fucking die the end he's so he's so like reliably wrong about things that it's almost like the only the only issue with like doing things on him is like it feels unfair sometimes where it's like it feels like it's his whole deal it's just like yeah he's the wrong guy right like that's his whole that's his whole personality he's got such an outsized influence and he's become very wealthy number seven podcast his bad ideas so you know i don't know if it's unfair yeah people seem to love it easy kind of right it's like it feel it feels like you're like we don't need to do this everybody knows you know yeah i'm not sure and i guess that's the the you

know the problem i'm not sure of his appeal i don't understand why people why he is so popular and i've always had that fear of like oh are we fueling that? But also, like, it's very fun to make fun of the dumb things he says. So I don't feel that bad, you know? Well, I think there's only there's a point where, like, if we never, you know, we also we try to minimize the number of times we bring them up unless it's like relevant, super relevant topic or something like that. It's been a while. Obviously, this is like a spiritual sequel to to as we talked about past couple weeks a few

episodes the conservative comedy episode the bench pure episode a lot of this stuff so you know it's kind of like a treat also it's okay it is a delicious treat yeah and pop in and be like still it's still still just really wrong you know um and and we're at a point i think we're like like we're saying like he's got they're making these movies they've got this studio they've got like uh a streaming app the number seven podcast in the country etc and so forth we're not if we never talk about him again that's not going to affect anything if we only talk about him from now on that's not going to affect anything either. Right. Oh, for sure. In terms of like where he is. We're not moving the needle.

Right. And you guys are right. Like it has been a while since we talked about him. And we like originally this was going to be one episode and it wasn't even going to come out this week. It was going to come out a few like maybe even a month from now. And like just by pure chance, we did it this week. Right.

When the Oscars happened, where like we couldn't have timed that better. It's like the perfect time to bring up this subject. So I think it worked out really well. Yeah, it's really perfect. I'm excited for everybody to hear and watch our lady ballers. It also worked well to have you on the show today. We don't always have, I mean, we very rarely have the writer of an episode on the show today you know we don't always have i mean we very rarely have the writer of an episode on the show the day after yeah that's true it's true

no don't get a big head of course well this is doing really well it's doing well uh real a quick preview i guess for folks because we did like like Dave said, this was originally one episode where we're like a little intro. We're going to talk about Hollywood and stuff. And now Lady Ballers. And it just didn't work out. It kept going and going and going to like Jordan Peterson length. So the first draft was around 20 ish pages. I want to say, I mean, it was like it started ballooning and ballooning and we were like all

right let's let's split it yeah it's like 17 then it was 19 it was like 20s low 20s and and this is all to say that part two the lady ballers is now the same length as that original draft that included yes yeah we did the right thing breaking we did the right thing yeah not spiritually we did the wrong thing spiritually like for ourselves oh yeah no we're we've rottened our souls yeah yeah but that happened a long time ago that's true now we're fortified against it now we're fortified like vitamin d is that yeah so if you enjoyed this uh previous hour-long introduction to lady ballers uh this next episode is probably gonna be like i don't know an hour 45 minutes or something like that it's gonna be long it won't be that long i mean maybe with clips but it'll be like that's the thing there's clips yeah uh first this first

part was like get it banned yeah we might have to shorten these clips we'll see you know there is a real reality that it might be difficult to release this without them getting mad yeah um as somebody pointed out uh in the comments already to the new episode and as we point out in the episode we filmed they've already tried to take down reviews of this movie uh it's so funny they're so confident they're like even if you don't agree with us we want to hear people's reviews of it uh no they don't but we don't want other people to see them and actually we don't want to see them either and yeah my my guess is i think we're gonna hit about 80 minutes for the seek because without the clips it's about 72 minutes based on that page length so add clips it's probably gonna be more like 75 minutes but we'll see we'll see we'll see we'll tune in next week to find out where it lands. And if it's postable.

Yeah. Yeah. Hello, my sweet desert flower. It's Cody, your favorite. I'm here to talk at you about Ground News, a sponsor we're so weirdly into that we sought them out as a sponsor for us. Many crimes were committed, but we prevailed. See, Ground News is an aggregate site that shows you all the different ways

the media is covering a single story. For example, if you look up the Trump org CFO recently pleading guilty after being caught lying on the stand, you'll be treated to a wide variety of headlines, including Gateway Pundit calling it unprecedented, inappropriate, and troubling, and comparing the simple fraud trial to Soviet Russia,

because they're totally not angry, you see. Anywho, you can read all that and much more on Ground News, a site we're now legally required to be 50 feet away from. They now have a brand new elections page for tracking the 2024 hellscape. That includes blind spot election stories that aren't being covered by certain left or right-leaning news outlets.

There was lots of receipts being called.

Yeah. Travis or Trevor. Trevor. Trevor. Yeah. We wrote hard for you, Trevor. And you did us like that. Fuck.

We should have known with your fucking name like that. Jeremy. Jeremy and Sarah Ann. Wearing a diaper on your head. What are you doing, man? Get that diaper off your head, Jeremy. I have a lot of thoughts about Jeremyeremy sarah and laura's situation people were giving sarah and a lot of shade and look i'm not gonna go hard for sarah and or jeremy they're not like ideal people but

neither is laura obviously like you're putting laura on a pedestal. But meanwhile, everybody's like, and maybe she's really cool, but like she made some really bad choices and she was pretty mean to Jeremy. I'm not surprised that Jeremy and Sarah Ann worked it out. And Laura, I hope you're happy. It seems like you're in a relationship. And all those girls were given sarah and the stink eye and i think that they're forgetting that you know the rest of america knows and can acknowledge is that y'all are full of shit you're going into these pods to fall in love love is not blind you can get to know somebody and it seems like some of them worked it out but you got to have some physical attraction we all know this is a fucking reality tv show and that the likelihood of those

relationships not lasting is small so when it comes to jeremy speaking in class today at home drawn pictures of mountaintops with him on top lemon yellow sun arms raised in a v i just can't deal with him anymore oh that's a good ref. That's a good ref. You're great. Wow, Jeremy. I actually didn't get the reference. That's just the worst reaction you want to a joke is, you're great.

I didn't get it. You're great. I didn't get the joke. Dave did. Well, I don't know. Should I have gotten that? It's a Pearl Jam. It's a Pearl Jam song.

Oh, it's a Pearl Jam song. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, okay. That's fun. Did you? I'm sorry. Jeremy's not cool enough for that reference. gotten that it's a pearl jam it's a pearl jam song oh it's a pearl jam song yeah yeah it's all right oh okay that's fun did you i'm sorry jeremy's not cool enough for that reference did you say pods yeah they're in pods and you can't see anybody the women are kept separate from the men and they date everybody without seeing them and you just hear their voice and they connect and then you winnow it down and you get out of the pods by proposing and then you can finally see the person you proposed to you then you've got three weeks to like move in together and tell your families and then you get married and a lot of times

you're like i don't want to do this but sometimes it's got chemistry but like you know that's a lot and oftentimes you come down to two people and you're like i don't know which person i'm more in love with and that's how the sarah and laura oh my god sarah jeremy situation but they're all bad i think they're all suck i know but everyone's riding so hard for laura and anyway we've got actual fucking news most of you aren't listening haven't watched this show and i've wasted enough of your time i just want to to clarify, we weren't teasing you. We were teeing you up to let the people know about Jeremy. You can come talk to me about Love is Blind.

I'm not saying that Jeremy and Sarian are great. I'm saying that the shade that was given, a little weird. I think that's fair. I probably would have dm'd somebody that i thought i fell in love with and said hey if things don't work out my feelings were sincere i might have done that and i don't think that would make me wrong this is my life on the line let's talk about tiktok okay the um house of representatives this week passed a bill that would either force the chinese company bite dance to sell tiktok or would effectively ban it in the united states uh this

this bill passed overwhelmingly 352 to 65 50 democrats voted no 15 republicans voted no they say they want to ban tiktok because of the national security risk that comes from it being a Chinese company that they feel might be influenced by the Chinese Communist Party. On the other hand, every app has your data and is doing stuff with it. And so there isn't really a ton of evidence at this point of some of those nefarious things. Not that it's not possible right correct me if i'm wrong isn't it also possible for all the things that you're they're

afraid of to be happening on all the other social media sites isn't it also possible for china to get our information from other sources there are plenty of data brokers. There's nothing stopping a, you know, a group with ties to China or Russia or any number of other places to go and buy huge, you know, dumps of data. Sure. Yeah. I mean, it's basically it's them sort of kind of admitting like, yeah, we don't really care when the American companies do all this stuff. Right.

We only care when a company companies do all this stuff right we only care when a company from china does the same stuff that that seems like the concern right because it feels very weird for like especially republicans to want to like regulate a company this much in such a weird way maybe i'm wrong maybe there's a history of this but it just feels weird that they're doing this to one company and not all of social media which desperately needs regulations right like yeah they can only do that when it's um like woke stuff right or like a culture war sort of like a conservative grievance like i'm being banned on facebook or whatever then it they can go after these companies but uh and i think like you know the chinese chinese communist party like that's

a culture war thing too right no i can see it being i can it's just funny because it's like do other countries do this about twitter and facebook that also probably steals everybody's oh right like there are yeah we've got all the websites our companies every website yeah data data data that's the thing and we desperately need there's like regulations and and things that like if you want if you're worried about this thing this aspect like you're saying you can regulate social media social media is a problem there are issues with like you know the algorithm data collection all this kind of stuff but if you do that then you can blanket affect tiktok and if they don't comply then that's an issue for them right um as opposed to this other thing they're

trying to do um which also seems like it's gonna give some like power to do this kind of at will like on a whim to like other companies or uh things which doesn't seem like a great place to be it's like really anti-free market right for them like to be like because what they're essentially doing is if they closed on tiktok then instagram and i mean x is gonna try but i don't think twitter twitter being like oh we're video now it's like yeah that's cute um yeah uh because like instagram is already being tiktok like if you go on instagram it's kind of a problem where it's like this is just tiktok videos yes so it's like all they're doing is all of it yeah yeah they're essentially just shutting down the company they don't like so

that the company that they do like can swoop in and take do the same thing everybody that's using tiktok is going to use instagram in the same thing everybody that's using tiktok is going to use instagram in the same way right that just feels so anti-free market for them to come in and go like we're going to regulate who succeeds at this business i'm not quite sure i'm not trying to dismiss privacy concerns at all because i have them yeah the time online. But I'm not quite sure what the difference is with China having information for me personally, how that's affecting everyday citizens' lives versus the other companies that have it here. If we're talking about a national security risk, how does that translate that translate i mean presumably there are ways

but how like they can't get the information that they're getting from tiktok from other avenues is it because they've got well there is an argument i suppose about algorithms and the same thing you know russia bots and affecting our elections And this whole conversation we've been having for years and years and years. OK, would this company be able to sway our elections? You know, the kids don't like Joe Biden or the kids don't like Donald Trump and they're posting stuff. Would that be promoted over? But again, this is true on every app that we use that people will and yeah we are all in and

we live in an interconnected world now and there are going to be people from all over the world able to chime in on our conversations i think we've accepted all of this because it's always been in the name of making money right where it's like these companies they have they they they make these very addictive apps that have these very selective like algorithms that keep us in these bubbles and and kind of dictate what we you know what we think and they're collecting all this data from us and everybody is kind of okay with it because we're like man they're just trying to sell us ads right and i think the concern that i can see and i don't think this is proven for

tiktok but i think this is the case they're trying to make is that somebody can come along and harness those tools to do something insidious or more insidious than just trying to sell us stuff they can sway elections but like they're they're gonna have to prove that t that TikTok is doing that, right? And like, honestly, there's other apps like I think Twitter is now way more like I'm way more suspicious of Twitter having an like, like pushing some sort of ideology based on who owns it now, right? Like it feels like, you know, out of all the apps that might do that, Twitter seems the most vulnerable, but i don't know totally have you guys this is sort of a pivot but it's a thing that i hadn't noticed before and

i'm i don't use twitter as so often yeah but it gave i opened it up yesterday because i was going to post a picture of the show of the shoot for somewhere news youtube.com somewhere news and it was like twitter has been accessing all of your photos and locations for the past six months do you still approve of that or something i was like no i don't at all what do you mean it's just been accessing all of my photos and location information for this amount of time maybe i took a screenshot i don't know it made me so uncomfortable it made me so fucking uncomfortable that it's like, this has been happening. Do you want to continue? And I said, no. And then I have to give permission for each individual photo, which is fine,

but it does not feel like a very easy everything app unless I give them all of my information or something. You got to put everything out there. Yeah there yeah exactly i do that too i i have the thing where i do individual permission i think it's apple right like i think that's apple this is an apple thing throwing the other apps under the bus like remember when apple did the thing of ask not to track and it like cost facebook billions i think apple's really like uh being a real shit to these other tech companies because i'm pretty sure because i've gotten that for other apps too of just like this app has this in this acts information are you comfortable with that and it's nice because i'm like now that you mention it no no i wouldn't have been if i was asked i don't love that it's been happening i don't love apple

either i do but i do bring this up to highlight how i feel constantly like there's so many ways that you guys some not you guys people could be just pillaging my personal computer that i carry with me everywhere i mean i i carry a usb and i grab as much information from it whenever i'm near you so like yeah i do it too i pillage but yeah well at least you're telling me now well it's confession day or whatever that's right it is confession day at work so you are just really doing it yeah what happens now though oh sorry jonathan you got something i mean the thing i have is x or linda yaccarino says X is going to be all video all the time. Video forward.

And then Elon Musk is like, I just watched this snuff film from Haiti of a guy eating an uncooked FWIW penis. What? FIFW. For what it's worth. That's a whole other thing. He's just trying to make me terrified of immigrants uh from anywhere and saying that

uh all Haitians are cannibals uh based off like a video of like a gang thing from three years ago yes he's a piece of shit sorry for steering the convo this way he's like he's like one of them Nazis huh yeah

yeah I don't want to I don't want to shame anybody for doing this but i had like during the oscars i think last year and the year before every now and then i'll tweet about something watching it and every time i started a tweet i just like thought about this fucking nazi and was like you know what never mind and i kept like retracting things because i just I didn't. What? This year, you mean? Yeah, this year. I just didn't have it in me. I just didn't want to participate. Yeah. I don't want to give traction to it. Right. So if we're considering regulating an app that's likely to alter its algorithm to try to make a political outcome happen, why not the guy who's like very vocally

the nazi now right and like if they have evidence i haven't seen it but i haven't been looking into it if they have evidence that tiktok is some arm of this government it doesn't really matter like the politics of the government i just think that's weird and wrong right that's like oh yeah i wouldn't want any they're pushing any government to like infiltrate or use my my data you know i don't i don't like advertisers doing it either but it doesn't seem like there is so it's like i'm not even saying that like elon musk is doing that it's just that when i look at them all lined up i'm like well he's he's the one that's the most likely exactly worried about we think instagram will benefit from it which is i guess facebook at this point right but who knows maybe twitter benefits from

it as well whatever they get video app is however we'll see what happens micro blogging video app it's not looking good i mean this is it's wild given how popular tiktok is and how many people make their living off of tiktok yeah so that's interesting but it's going to go to the senate first so that is chuck schumer is not committed to bringing it to a vote you know but it'll happen but it seems like most republicans are for it so it would be it would need a hard line from the democrats to block it but i think yeah i don't see that happening i think it does seem like a pretty bipartisan uh yeah issue that they kind of agree on which as we've talked about before is like maybe a bad sign if like both parties are like yeah we gotta do this

together yeah all these old old people we'll see I mean maybe you know cause like it's not again it's not like it is a ban and it's not a ban like maybe they'll be like alright we'll sell the fucking company and somebody else has it to Steven Mnuchin exactly and Mnuchin has it and he can do what's his fucking Suicide Squad movie is that what he did

yeah but that's wild to me too like you can force a company to sell to somebody else that is i don't trust either what right this is what i'm saying where it's like isn't from a like a republican standpoint isn't this something they hate like this weird like nanny state we're gonna go in and like screw with the free market and like force businesses to sell like that seems very anti-gop beliefs like it's it's the same with desantis with disney right where it was like what's happening here like i thought this goes against everything you thought i think about businesses started

with donald trump right it'll be interesting to see donald trump and the trump campaign's reaction to this because if it's happening and it's under biden then it seems like something that he could campaign on as like this fucking guy but he started it and he's against it now oh he's against it now okay gotcha yeah now i mean trump is yeah yeah trump has said he's against this happening. I mean, we could try to parse his comments on it for a logical, coherent thought. Yeah, but he says there's a lot of good and there's a lot of bad with TikTok. But the thing I don't like is that without TikTok, you're going to make Facebook bigger. And I consider Facebook to be an enemy of the people, along with a lot of the media.

Facebook did a lot of work for him. Bro, Facebook helped you so much. That's your bread and butter, baby. Yeah. I wonder, I really wonder who's going to be, because like Twitter, like they're like, yeah, we'll be video. But you know, in the back of their head, they're like, no, it'll probably be Instagram. So like maybe they'll lobby against this too.

Like, I don't know. I don't know who's gonna i know like specific tiktok stars are now lobbying but i'm curious to know yeah what side people end up on for weird political reasons like that i think that we need to take a break real quick just a little one real quick yeah but uh more specifically for this i need to take a break from you whoa and i need to get my shit together before i can continue this conversation i'm still stuck on sarah ann and jeremy and laura so sorry and trevor trevor god and jimmy a little bit but i think he got jimmy don't give him the benefit i think it's a little bit unfair to pile up on both jimmy and chelsea just because the girl said that she looks like megan fox and she doesn't

Ooh, conspiracies. Fun. They're fun. They're fun. Okay. We got several conspiracies to go over.

Conspiracy corner. Ooh, I love it. There's so many of them, actually. And the first one, Kate Middleton. What is happening? Is she alive? Is she dead? Jonathan, walk this through.

I'm going to chime in. Yes. So the last time Kate Middleton was officially in public on some sort of royal event was on christmas uh so what is that a couple months ago then in january wait i'm gonna just chime in okay oh shit with the conspiracy this is not a confirmed thing but it feels like soft confirmed in that lots of people have said it but it's like no no news a lot of people are saying people are saying yeah many fine people are saying that there was an ambulance at their fucking palace or whatever a house

the people kensington palace yeah what people are saying ambulance at like nighttime a few days after christmas okay a big guy comes up to me right from central casting and he tells me there was an ambulance scene i'm not saying that i have confirmed this is a fucking fact i'm saying it's very clear that you're not saying it's a confirmed fact this is part of the conspiracy continue Jonathan okay so then in mid January Kensington Palace announces

that Kate has undergone a quote planned abdominal surgery unclear what it's for and around the same time King Char okay I will also say that they had plans. They had like a big tour planned for January. If this is a planned abdominal surgery,

that's fucking weird that they then had to cancel. Why would you have a planned big trip and then a planned abdominal surgery? Well, plans change. Right. It doesn't say how long the plan... So if you have appendicitis, they have to plan for you to quickly get into

surgery. It's unclear what this surgery is. It had been recently planned this trip. So what? A planned... But you're saying planned would suggest that... Plans change? Wait. Wait. Let me finish. Jeremy. I mean, fuck Cody.

I'm just saying if you put together this plan or whatever and then quickly change that plan because you have another planned surgery just say that she had an emergency surgery or something just say that this thing came up you don't need to couch it in like we've been planning this out around her schedule. This feels like the right time for her to go get an abdominal surgery. Continue, Jonathan. So she comes home from the hospital 12 days later, but no photographs are taken.

Yeah, no photographs. Yes, that's what they say. At the end of February, so like a month later, Prince William, who is Kate Middleton's husband, they're in the royal family. That's what we're talking about here. The royal family. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Prince William pulls out of a memorial service for his godfather, King Constantine of Greece, but they say, the palace sources say this was not connected to Kate. Bullshit. A week later, on March 4th, TMZ posts a photo. Wait, March 4th? March 4th. If March even exists, okay. So TMZ posts this photo.

Big jump here. And it's supposedly of Kate as a passenger in a car being driven by her mother, Carol. Some people are saying this is Pippa. Yeah. Has been added in here. Yeah, that was me. It's Pippa. It's Pippa. I assume that was added by. Pull up a picture of Pippa has been added in here. Yeah, that was me. It's Pippa. I assume that was added.

Pull up a picture of Pippa. Pull up that picture. It looks like freaking Pippa. Pull up a picture of Pippa. What the hell is Pippa? We also don't have Pippa's Kate Middleton's sister that she somewhat resembles

but looks distinctly different from. And sure, it could be Kate, but also we don't. They released the picture okay then this week looks like nina dobrov yeah in that photo actually uh so then this week march 10th they william and kate post a photo to their social media accounts of kate middleton and her three children with the photo credited to william for mother's day they have a different mother's day in the uk yeah what the brits yeah they are like it was

happening all over the oscars i was like what's happening here yeah guys what are you doing get it together and so this photo has a lot of issues a lot of online sleuths and graphic designers are like, this photo's been manipulated, and then the AP issues a kill order for publications not to run it, as it has been manipulated, and the palace's excuse for this, or Kate, tweeted the next day, like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother's Day. Bob's your uncle.

See. You added Bob's your uncle, but I like it. Bullshit. I'm sorry. That's the stupidest move they could have made because there's not a fucking chance there's not a fucking chance the firm would allow for a photo that kate did herself i do not believe i saw somebody tweet this y'all try to tell me that kate middleton has adobe suite fuck that yeah she's not using the magnetic lasso tool or whatever she's not doing photo edits she's just not i mean that might be her hobby it might there might be

this thing where she's been pushing this and they're finally like okay let her let her have it yeah please the one all right so i want maybe bad timing to let her share this shit down now granted they obviously their in-house photoshopper should be fired well yeah i'm a little yeah i'm so i saw like all the i think i think there's definitely evidence of photoshopping i like you guys i've probably i've spent a lot of time photoshopping in my day so but like some of it i'm like why would that be it like the so i know it's haunting that the boy is crossing two fingers that the last time i saw that there's literally an x-files episode called tombs about it's a character who can stretch his body and he does that in tombs to show like oh he's a mutant Cody's gonna try to do it but

that's not the way it works you can do it you can do it if you force it they're flexible they're like little freaks they do whatever the fuck they want I guess I'm saying that like I don't think that specific part is photoshopped because it's so loud

it's like why would you photoshop that it could be AI it's a combination of a photo and AI is photoshop because it's so loud but it's like why would you photoshop that yeah so it's a combination of a photo and ai i think that it's ai and then they put it on to kate's face i actually don't think that that seems like a lot of work i think the child is a mutant i think the child is a mutant well like in the x files and that's why he can do that with love this fingers like a stupid little kid i would like to suggest the most reasonable non-conspiracy ish i mean i guess it is still a conspiracy with some others but then there's others so this the most reasonable explanation i believe is that she had some kind of a procedure that she doesn't really look the way she wants to look right now and doesn't want to be seen in public and is just kind of hiding out for a while

i think that was probably her in the car and she doesn't really look like herself because she's probably on some kind of medication and that after you know after easter as they said in april she'll be back and it'll be like uh don't talk about what happened. Bob was her uncle. I think that you're right however there are lots of other ideas. I mean I'm absolutely chuffed to report. We're all chuffed yeah

Let's have a bit of an old chin wagging. But they say that Kate left William after he cheated on her with Lady Rose Hanbury the the machinist of Chumley. Wait, say it again. I talked over you. It's a good name.

Lady Rose Hanbury, the machinist of Chumley. That's not really. Which is spelled with 25 letters in the word Chumley. You mean Chalmondalee? It's pronounced Chumley. If England is listening, just stop. Stop it. Sink. S sink to the bottom of england i have to say that that happened years ago so maybe that's continued oh yeah you've oh the

affair not the case not the years ago sinking into the ocean that That was years ago. Also, I need to tell you guys, despite my energy on this conversation, I don't give a shit about the royal family. I think that's why it's fun, right? Other than Harry, when I was a kid, I always thought that I would marry Harry. It may sound like Katie is arse over tit over this story, but we assure you. I just think it's funny.

Okay, the other idea Jonathan well then there's the idea that she is either in a coma or dead And the royal family is keeping it a secret because they hate the sympathy of the British public Right for some reason course get if Very good for their approval rating To have a tragic death They kind of like soft launch her death in a pod flick Yeah I was going to say What's the plan This isn't Weekend at Bernie's

At some point we're going to figure that one out Unless the death was a result Of a violent confrontation Between Kate and her husband That's what I was going to Some of the other theories oh good well i don't need to make jokes about suicide uh but there's that but or like you're gonna i don't need to but i want to she tried to see this is what's gross it's like the fact that

we're all people are speculating it It's just a wildfire of speculation. Another one is that she had a tummy tuck or that she was hospitalized for an eating disorder or that William beat her up. All of this is just ridiculous. You can just speculate all you want. Something's happened and she doesn't want to be in the public eye. You know, we want to joke about her kids, stupid little fingers. We don't need this other stuff yeah it's this weird i mean the concept of fame is so weird that there are people that we expect to always show that everything's fine like you're always expected if you're famous

like every picture of you is nice every post is good everything's fine and when you're not fine it becomes like a weird tabloid thing yeah and so it's like instead of a thing that everybody deals with right and it's like yeah it's like have you met anybody like humans it's like we're not fine we have our good days and bad days we have our good days and bad days

we have bodies that get sick or ill or hurt I will say this is not contradicting that I am not british i know that there are a variety of opinions over there about the royal family a lot of people feel kathleen kathleen the a lot of people feel a lot of ownership over them an entitlement to them they're they've got this it's they're they live in a cage a very public cage so to speak it's like a reverse monarchy one thing that i think is fair them

is that we rule them no uh is that the firm has a real problem with pr they don't know how to do it. It's it's they're not helping this situation by releasing sloppy Photoshop or grainy. The other picture they released was of William and Kate in a car, but it's just a brunette with their head turned away. It's like you're not helping this at all. In fact, you're adding fuel to the speculation you can just say and i've seen people share this this is not a unique thought to me there have been articles about it and people's tweets about it you can just say the princess is recovering and doesn't want to be seen for three months which is what just stick hold Hold that line. Just hold that line. Don't even try to appease people.

Stop fueling this. But they always have made outlandish choices in regards to privacy and their PR. And they are known to lie and they are known to go through wild leaps to keep their shit private. It's so hire a new PR person yeah because like i'm i'm also not british for the record um and uh but like i don't think she like has any duties right like it's one thing like like biden i can see them trying to pretend biden is uh alive like i can see i can see that ideas but they're mostly philanthropic and ceremonial

that's what i'm wearing where it's like it's not like this thing that needs to function like if like a president is sick i can see more of conspiracies around like oh they're trying to downplay it because people would be worried because it's like this is the the person who's supposed to like be in charge of everything but like for for her, it's like, yeah, why can't she have a few months off? Like, that's weird, right? They should get Kevin Kline to be her for a couple of months. Yes, they should dave her. He would crush it.

He would crush it. Real quick, sorry. I just, I am British and I'm absolutely gutted by this. Okay. And I think, I think, I think, I think she's dead. You think she's dead? But I'm a bit knackered with this conversation, so I think we'll move on. I think you should have come forward and told us that sooner.

Well, I think, I think, okay, okay, okay, I think you're right. I think you're right. I want to listen to a british even more news where they're talking about trump and they're like gee golly y'all we can't wait to go to the the absolute the state of the union we gotta get a burger the state of the union okay okay okay we're not going to solve Kate Middleton. Conspiracy theory number two. Jonathan, set us up.

Yeah, so Mitch McConnell's sister-in-law, Angela Chow, sister of the former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chow, died last month in a car accident. Or she backed her Tesla or her Tesla backed, depending on what you believe, into a pond on her 900-acre Texas ranch. Sounds like a bad choice of transportation. Yeah, there's the potential that the car had something to do with it

because it has some very difficult to break windows, especially when underwater. And once the car is submerged in water, it's going to be really hard to put down the windows to get out as it would be in many other cars that where you can't manually crank them down and there's also some cars but especially this car that especially and there is some blame going around to uh tesla's touchscreen shifting mechanism because they don't have a little handle to change the shift, right? You have to push a button

on the touchscreen. That this caused problems and they say she was doing a three-point turn, thought she was putting it back into forward drive, but was not and went back. Was supposition here because no one was there to watch, presumably?

Yeah. I think someone said that supposition here because no one was there to watch presumably yeah i think there's cameras all over someone said that i think i heard that she had had a few and i heard that i think her husband or someone related was saying that she had had problems in the past with this touch screen and that person who said it i believe did the thing where he was like i don't want to blame tesla i love my tesla which is just it's very funny how many we're getting of people going i love my tesla so much but my cyber truck did explode on the highway and kill my family but i love tesla yeah this has been very silly it's very embarrassing a venture capitalist billionaire her husband no one in the family blames tesla according to a person familiar oh wait i don't need to do a voice because it's a article quote no one in the family blames tesla

according to a person familiar with the situation briar and his wife had three teslas loved them and often spoke about how electric vehicles were good for the planet briar considers himself a friend of elon musk in the this tragic time i just want to make it clear we're friends with elon musk it's weird it's weird it's weird i'm of two minds because one the husband did it no you could make the argument he definitely did it no you could make the argument that we do if we did this with like ford if we like hyper focused on every accident it would seem like you know make the argument that we do if we did this with like ford if we like hyper focused on every accident it would seem like you know like we do that with airplane crashes which we'll get to

next but like yeah they have more publicity so therefore they just seem more dangerous but the thing with tesla is every accident is something ridiculous it's it's it's highlighting a basic in this case like i do agree with the notes here that it sounds like first responders got there she was already probably dead because the certainly um she had been down there for 20 minutes horrifying way to go for the record but like they also after they they also spent hours after that trying to get into the car so like had had someone had a mechanism to break the windows which people do have yes apparently yeah apparently that wouldn't have worked like it seems like and then i i did like a little looking because i went through the tesla

manual for first responders because i was like that's interesting and they have no section on power is out and you're trying to get in from the and they have no section on power is out and you're trying to get in from the outside they have no section on what to do so i i searched a little longer and i found forms of people saying like yeah my tesla lost its power and i can't get inside is there a way to do it and they all involve this like elaborate like you open the trunk and you hook this uh second battery up and stuff and it's like we're not even talking about it being locked like just opening it by different cars yeah that's that's not good because like what you're saying like if we're hyper focusing on a certain brand or maker model of car it will seem like this but these are all like this is an issue that has it's not the first

time it's come up like there's so many safety issues with tesla specifically and like the issue with the touch screen and like not having physical like physical things you can do not being able to have like uh these mechanical devices that aren't necessarily like electronic and and ways like it's like um if that tunnel in vegas floods and people die right we're not going to be like, oh, we're focusing on that too much. Like, no, no, no. We all said that that's very likely. These are all issues with the car.

Yeah. We're also not going to be like, this is a conspiracy. Which going back to the conspiracy, people are like, hmm, this seems fishy. Maybe she was murdered. I'm like, yeah, by the car. By the car. That we expect to do this kind of thing. And the husband.

He loves the Ilana husband. Third thing yeah and the husband who's in loves the third of all the husband i don't mean that we're having fun also for the record buy a different car but make it an electric car there's nothing wrong with electric cars like yeah there's some complications with being submerged in water electrocution but like there it is better to have an electric car i think if yeah generally you can afford one obviously there's like yeah various minds of like how ultimately like i do think so but i'm still a little like yeah but but yeah like there are other car makers who actually take safety and things into consideration like that's that's the thing where it's like yeah uh if ford had this issue or like

some other company they would deal with it immediately once somebody like brings it up but i know that tesla wouldn't well i will just say this he doesn't care about safety he gets rid of yellow safety tape because i like the color yellow like it's absurd we do have one more yes the most important conspiracy yeah the actual conspiracy the actual one but i will say this doesn't mean anything the the electric cars we love our teslas they're good for the environment you don't give a shit about the environment you like it because your buddy elon makes those cars and it's some sort of status symbol that you can project sorry dave how would you say it says you often speak about how electric vehicles

are good for the planet you're just at dinner and you're like honey i mean our tesla's good for the planet i know it's have you met like rich liberals like yeah i could see that happening i could see that but yeah they do that just to make it's good or put on the show of caring. Yeah. And like, I assume you were alluding to this, Cody, like where the electricity comes from matters. Well, yes. Yeah. And the batteries and like all the things to consider and how we generate the electricity.

Where do we get the mind for the batteries? It's from countries where people like, I i mean it is just truly there is an element of repeating yeah patterns of the past and the planet needs to be saved so it's both things sorry go ahead you know yeah my my conspiracy theory is the moment i started reading about like the cyber truck having like it doesn't crumple during accidents and stuff yeah no crumple like there's all these things yeah i think we're gonna just get a year of these stories like i think we're gonna keep hearing about it's just

gonna start piling up these horrific until like enough people die that they do something about it that's you think so because i mean even my theory right because it's like there's a combination of these things right like the getting out of the uh getting out of the car when submerged like all these sort of things the touch the touch screen aspect that it

makes all these things more difficult for no reason getting into the car getting out of the car uh the crumple zone issue but also even the self-driving thing there's the the person who just died in that horrible like full quote-unquote full self-driving crash who was like a huge tesla fan and like worked there and that's not going to be the last one like you're saying it's going to be worse and worse okay it's going to be like and half it's going to be funny because cyber trucks look stupid yeah they're ugly ugly ugly i love the look okay you love them dave i know that about you to the actual real conspiracy. Yes, please. Okay, so a former quality control manager at Boeing who blew the whistle on safety concerns in the company's airplanes,

John Barnett, was found dead on Saturday, a day after testifying in a deposition on dangers in Boeing's planes. And if you've been following the news lately, there have been a slew of little Boeing mishaps, which maybe a little. Well, right. A panel of the fuselage blew out on a Boeing being flown by Alaska Airlines in January. So the plane had to make an emergency landing with an open window. There was a plane where flames were shooting out of the engine on March 4th.

A plane ran off the runway. There was an instrument malfunction causing a sudden drop that injured 50 people. And now this whistleblower who was featured in a 2019 New York Times article about safety concerns at Boeing winds up dead. I will say that it seemed that he had talked about everything he had wanted to talk about and had been over the years. And these depositions were repeating some of the things that were in that article and other safety concerns he had.

So I'm not entirely sure that there was something left to reveal on the way or something. It's sort of yeah yeah i was gonna say the biggest case against it being in conspiracy is like i mean it's not like we don't know what's happening at boeing it's not like this was a successful cover-up um counterpoint attention on it yeah right counterpoint i don't think boeing seems to be a very competent company. So if they were going to kill someone, they would do it in an incompetent way. Yeah. No quality control on their assassinations.

I did think that there was stuff left for him in terms of this. It's possible. He was still giving. He had another day at least. Of testimony. Yes. And I mean, I think it's really important i mean do people kill themselves

when they're in the midst of seeing through something they've been working on for five years in a hotel parking lot attorneys told npr he was in very good spirits and really looking forward to putting this phase of his life behind him and moving on. We didn't see any indication he would take his own life. No one can believe it. It's because it's hard to believe. It's unbelievable, in fact. I will say that we don't know what else was happening in his life.

People who have committed suicide have been like very cheery before. That's like a reported thing. It's still very fucking fishy. This is very, very, very, very fishy. It's very weird. You know, like it's just like you would you would assume. But it's just that we're only getting pieces. So it's like if like his wife came out and said like no i think i think he did

it he's been depressed for a while like that you know that would there are pieces that could yeah yeah we're not getting all the information but it's like man like on paper this looks super sus of all of them too like we've been going through these like all right this is silly this is silly this is the one was like yeah the timing is something on this i will say that we probably would not be talking about how terrible boeing is right now had it not been for this man's death and because i might be researching an episode about fucking airlines but like boeing and like but i read more this week because of this and i i didn't realize the extent to which that a number of quality control people in their in charleston had major safety concerns and then were just pressured not to report it

pressured not to do anything because they need to get these planes out you know it's like when i read about this i'm not afraid of flying but i i quickly check to see which airlines use boeings to be like all right let's let's just make a mental note i think it's actually a very good idea perhaps to just check to see if you've got flights booked just check to see what the aircraft is specific kind of aircraft uh yeah this is just like like Boeing and Airbus those are the big two right? I think so It's rare that you would fly on a giant commercial plane That's not one of those two

JetBlue is Airbus Not to plug JetBlue I think the main issue Is it's specific That's true Use promo code Steak in a JV I think it is a specific boeing model though not like necessarily all of their planes which is at least good it's the it's the

max series right that has been having all these trouble this shouldn't be like the job of the american people no i really shouldn't you shouldn't have to research i don't really feel good about any of them yeah it doesn't matter the model yeah um it is also interesting i think because i i because we there's this has been unknown uh uh to an extent of like yeah it's a quality control issue it's cutting costs it's like this is a top-down problem that's been known especially amidst all of the like, it's because of black pilots that's been also going on in the discourse led by our good friend Elon Musk. Yeah, but the extent to which this is a problem is very alarming. And it is all I would say it's also interesting that a lot of the conspiracy brained people on x.com particularly elon musk

aren't biting on this i haven't seen that maybe they have but it doesn't seem they are talking about this person because it completely undercuts their theory that black pilots are crashing these planes they can't like they can't confront an actual like possible like conspiracy or like problem because they've been on this tear for so long about how the real issue is this dei it's like no no this is what's going on right it's because the real conspiracies do exist they're just not sneaky or exciting right the conspiracy here is cost cutting over many many years and we're finally seeing you know that late stage capitalism stage where things are falling apart because we never tended

to them and because you know yeah we did the cheapest thing imaginable and now we're seeing the result of that it's sort of like you know we did we did a cars episode where we talked about the los angeles getting rid of the trolley and that was seen like who framed roger rabbit makes it to be a conspiracy and then you go back and look at it and you're like this wasn't a conspiracy they just did it like they just said like oh we're getting rid of the char the trolley because it's getting in the way of all the cars so we're getting rid of that they conspired to do that the way business people get together and have meetings and say let's do this right they didn't have to like you know you know murder a cartoon rabbit yeah they didn't have to do anything elaborate they just did it because it was allowed and they were allowed to do it yeah yeah conversations and decisions don't

necessarily mean a conspiracy well yeah and more like conspiracy implies that they're doing something that's illegal and then you realize like no the government doesn't care that's the problem that's the the big conspiracy although these seem like problems that might be illegal yeah i mean here's the thing you look at like we talked about tiktok why like tiktok it's so silly because again the the gop they're all going after it they want to dig into their business why aren't they doing the same for Boeing? Why aren't they getting into their business and saying, like, you need to dissolve. Like, you need to sell or like,

why is it that the government only gets involved when, yeah, it's something they just don't like personally. Yeah, when, you know, there's been so many cases of this where it's like, when a company is responsible for a bunch of deaths, we'll like make them pay a fine and then no one will go to jail. Like, why aren't we going into the pharmaceutical companies and digging into their business and,

and highly regulating the way they do things, you know? Yeah. It's weird. It's weird what we're choosing, you know? Yeah. What we choose.

Cause then, yeah, like we've talked about too, like the fines don't outweigh the profit. No. Yeah. That they make from being able to cut these corners. So're gonna keep doing it they're gonna keep doing it boeing will be fine like we've given so many bailouts to the airlines it's like yeah they'll be fucking

fine yeah but we need one more all right well we fucking did it oh we can't talk about john cena's naked body i don't want to. That's not a conspiracy. That's not a fucking conspiracy, please. He looked great. He wasn't naked. He had a merkin on. Whatever.

Get over it. Can I talk about Al Pacino real quick? Sure. I'm on his side. That's all. I think it was weird. He was told specifically, don't say the nominees. Just read it.

And that's him like very passive aggressively on stage being like i guess i'm just gonna open this fucking envelope and say who's in it like he was just he was just being like a like a little grandpa about he was just guilting them like this is weird and i agree have a little more fucking lead up that's all i mean he could have done it better but like you know he was irritated the message was you know yeah sent and received they always make uh like you know a film legend who tends to be older yeah do best picture and so i think next year they should have them do the trump cognitive test on stage like remember the words do the thing to prove like i can read i can

do the thing they keep Yeah they keep throwing these These old dudes under the bus like Because Warren Beatty was also like they gave Him the wrong envelope yeah And it's like everyone's like ah Warren and it's Like he didn't do shit Hashtag Warren Beatty was innocent You can see him on stage being like

Something's wrong yeah Like he holds it open and his he has a Little look in his eye And then Faye Dunaway Is who he was with Up there right And she just said La La Land

And you can tell Immediately Warren Beatty's like Oh something's messed up here Right Cause it says Emma Stone in the envelope Right Yeah

and take a hike. This is Camp Counselor's Podcast with Zachariah Porter and Jonathan Carson. Consider this podcast your new favorite variety show where the badges mean nothing and the drama means everything.

Is this podcast even about camping? No, but it is camp. We cover everything. I have a theory that a chicken finger is the perfect chaser for a tequila shot. No, because at the end of the day, I was a child actor who fell victim to an audition scam. I'm going to be vulnerable for a second. Have you ever had to shop in a Husky section at a department store? Then I don't want to hear it.

Honestly, I can't talk about this anymore. I'm overstimulated and I'm bloated. From weird news and our current obsessions. To hot gossip and listener submitted confessions. Nothing is off limits at this camp. New episodes of Camp Counselors drop every Monday and Wednesday. Listen wherever you get your podcasts. Lights out campers.
